2. Provision of the Platform

Registration. When registering for a paid Subscription, You must be sixteen years or older to register, and must provide complete and accurate information during the registration process, including a valid credit card number or bank account (for ACH debit) that You are authorized to use.

Term. The term of this Agreement begins on the date you complete the registration and we activate Services for your Account. This Agreement will continue from month to month until terminated by either party pursuant to the terms hereof.

Order Acceptance Policy. Your successful submission of your order on the Site signifies acceptance by MarginEdge of your order and the provision of your Account.

Subscription. MarginEdge shall make the MarginEdge Platform available to You and Your End Users pursuant to this Agreement during the Term. You agree that your purchase of the Subscription is neither contingent upon the delivery of any future functionality or features nor dependent upon any oral or written public comments made by MarginEdge with respect to future functionality or features.

Support. Support via email and phone is available in connection with a paid Subscription. Use of services is limited to registered users associated with an active company account.

Use of Services. You must follow any policies made available to you within the Services. You agree you will not misuse our Services. For example, don’t interfere with our Services or try to access them using a method other than the interface and the instructions that we provide. You may use our Services only as permitted by law, including applicable export and re-export control laws and regulations. We may suspend or stop providing our Services to you if you do not comply with our terms or policies or if we are investigating suspected misconduct.

Using our Services does not give you ownership of any intellectual property rights in our Services or the content you access. You may not use content from our Services unless you obtain permission from its owner or are otherwise permitted by law. These terms do not grant you the right to use any branding or logos used in our Services. Don’t remove, obscure, or alter any legal notices displayed in or along with our Services.

Our Services may display some content that is not MarginEdge’s such as vendor quotes or invoices. This content is the sole responsibility of the entity that makes it available. We may review data or content to re-format or make calculations to aid you in using and analyzing the content.

In connection with your use of the Services, we may send you service announcements, administrative messages, and other information. You may opt out of some of those communications.

Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement. You authorize us to initiate, process, transmit, and settle ACH debits or credits to the account you have specified (“Designated Account”). Your authorization will remain in effect, even after termination of the Subscription, until we, in our sole discretion, decide that all of your financial obligations have been fully satisfied. You irrevocably authorize us to debit the Designated Account for the amount of any chargebacks, ACH returns, fines, losses, and costs that we may incur because of your use of the MarginEdge Platform.

Required Information. In order to use the MarginEdge Platform, you are required to provide us with certain information relating to your identity, End Users, transactions, and financial statements. You must provide us with accurate and complete information and keep the information up-to-date. We rely on this information for underwriting and to meet our obligations under applicable laws and agreements with our sponsor financial institution.  If the scope or nature of your business changes, you must notify us immediately; your failure to do so will be considered a breach of the Subscription.

Processing Limits. We are permitted to assign a maximum dollar amount per sales ticket and an aggregate maximum dollar amount of ACH transactions per calendar month. If certain processing volume thresholds are exceeded by your use of Payment Services, you may be required to enter into an additional agreement with our sponsor financial institution.

End User Billing Authorization. Per the Agreement, we are not liable for the contents of your End User Agreements. However, if we are providing you with Payment Services, you may be required to include a payment authorization provision acceptable to us in your End User Agreements. Failure to include an acceptable payment authorization provision in your End User Agreements could result in Payment Services being delayed or terminated. You agree to hold us harmless for any liability arising under or in connection with your End User Agreements, including but not limited to the payment authorization provision.

Compliance with Laws, Rules, and Policies. You must comply with the applicable National Automated Clearing House Association rules (“NACHA”) (the “Rules”).

Copies of the NACHA Operating Rules and Guidelines are available for review online at www.achrulesonline.org.

From time to time MarginEdge and/or the OFI may perform an audit to verify your compliance with the Origination Agreement and NACHA Operating Rules.

Any credit Entry to a non-consumer account may be transmitted by ACH. The rights and responsibilities of the Originator are governed by the State of New York. Credit given to the Receiver by their fiduciary institution (RDFI) is provisional until the RDFI receives final settlement as described in UCC 4A-403(a). If payment is not received by the RDFI, then the RDFI is entitled to a full refund of the credit amount from the Receiver’s account. 

You agree to comply with any applicable federal, state and local laws, rules, and regulations (collectively, “Laws”). You further agree to abide by our Term of Service and Privacy Policy (collectively, “Policies”), both of which are expressly incorporated into the Agreement. You will assist us if we are required to ascertain your compliance with any Rules, Laws, or Policies. We may, within our sole discretion, suspend Payment Services for a reasonable period of time necessary to investigate suspicious or unusual activity, and we shall have no liability for any losses you may attribute to any suspension of remits or funds disbursement. We may reverse transactions that we deem to be in violation of the Agreement and you agree to reimburse us for any such reversal.

Prohibited Practices. You (a) will not present for processing any transaction you know or should know to be fraudulent or not authorized by the End User; (b) must not request an ACH transfer that violates the Rules or Laws; (c) will not use the Payment Services to accept amounts representing the refinancing of an existing uncollectible obligation, debt, or dishonored check of an End User; and (d) may not process transactions for, receive payments on behalf of, or (unless required by Law) redirect payments to, a third party.

Sales Transmittals. You will retain a copy of the sales transmittal for the completed transaction for 25 months or such longer period as the Rules may require. Within three business days of our request, you will produce copies of sales transmittals and other transaction evidence.

Recurring Transactions. You grant us authorization and prior written consent for recurring transactions, including a description of the product and the frequency and duration of the recurring charge, and must notify us to cancel recurring billing charges at any time.

ACH Processing. To enable you to make and accept ACH payments, you authorize us to originate credit or debit records for the purpose of a funds transfer (“Entries”) into the ACH network. We will use reasonable efforts to originate Entries on your behalf in accordance with the Agreement. You must only submit Entries for bona fide transactions made in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the Agreement, Rules and Laws.

3. Your MarginEdge Account

You need a MarginEdge Account in order to use our Services. Your Account may be assigned to you by an administrator, such as your employer, or by MarginEdge.

5. Your Content in our Services

Some of our Services allow you (or MarginEdge on your behalf) to upload, submit, store, send or receive content. You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you hold in that content.

When you upload, submit, store, send or receive content to or through our Services, you give MarginEdge (and those we work with) a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, aggregate with other user data and share aggregate data. The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating, promoting, and improving our Services, and to develop new ones. This license continues even if you stop using our Services.

The services are intended to facilitate business communications and sales and purchase transactions between you acting as either a Restaurant and/or Registered User acting as either a Restaurant or Supplier. MarginEdge is only a conduit through which a Restaurant and Supplier can negotiate, submit and track orders for the purchase and sale of Supplier’s products and services. However, MarginEdge does not represent either Restaurant or Supplier in connection with any transactions facilitated through the Site, App or Services, and MarginEdge is not a party to any transaction between any Restaurant and Supplier.

If we discontinue a Service, where reasonably possible, we will attempt to give you 30 days’ advance notice and a chance to get information out of that Service. If you end your paid subscription to our Services, we will attempt to preserve your access to your data in MarginEdge for a period of 12 months after the subscription is ended. You may not be able to access your data following 12 months after the end of your paid subscription.

12. About these Terms

We may modify these terms or any additional terms that apply to a Service to, for example, reflect changes to the law or changes to our Services. You should look at the terms regularly. We’ll post notice of modifications to these terms on this page. We may post notice of modified additional terms in the applicable Service. Changes will not apply retroactively and will become effective no sooner than fourteen days after they are posted. However, changes addressing new functions for a Service or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. If you do not agree to the modified terms for a Service, you should discontinue your use of that Service.

If there is a conflict between these terms and the additional terms, the additional terms will control for that conflict.

If it turns out that a particular term is not enforceable, this will not affect any other terms.

The laws of Delaware, U.S.A., will apply to any disputes arising out of or relating to these terms or the Services. All claims arising out of or relating to these terms or the Services will be litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts of Virginia, USA, and you and MarginEdge consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.
